Artist Statement:
 I have never taken a photography class until this year. I really enjoyed each project and learning more about photography. The self-portraits were definitely my favorite project out of every other project because I got to show different sides of myself and use my imagination to create different feelings and emotions. I learned by doing these self portraits that it only takes a little effort and creativity. One thing that really surprised me was that some of the finished products didn't end up looking what I wanted them to but they ended up being the best self-portraits.

C. Brasilia is the federal capital of Brazil and it's globally known for Oscar Niemeyer architecture. Guided by friends from there, I met the Corumbá Jump, which is a few kilometers from the city and it's one of the most impressive waterfalls I have seen. When I reached the spot to take photos, there were many tourists admiring the waterfall. This could be a problem but I decided to include them in the scene to give sense of scale, while I put myself on a high position to catch the whole scenery.

E. What most interests me about this picture is how big the waterfall is and the movement of the water falling down.
F. The water falling is white, the rocks are light and dark brown with moss on them.
G. Compared to the waterfall the people at the bottom look very small and far away.
